space1:example:fo:sky
In the above example, "space1" is the fourth sky domain information, "example" is the third sky domain information, "fo" is the second sky domain information, and "sky" is the first sky domain information.

Each part of the sky domain separated by a colon (:) is called a label. In this embodiment, the length of one label is limited to 63 characters or less, and lowercase English alphabet letters "a" to "z", numbers "0" to "9", and hyphens are used as characters that make up the label. can. Note that the length (number of characters) of one label and what kind of characters and symbols can be used for the label are arbitrary. For example, it may be possible to use uppercase letters of the English alphabet, or it may be configured to distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters of the English alphabet, or it may be configured to not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters.

In this embodiment, the Top Sky domain in Japan is basically "sky", but there are other reserved domains such as "air", "sora", and "space". The abbreviations of each prefecture (Tokyo TK, Fukuoka FO, etc.) are used as the second sky domain, and the information processing server 2 uses the top sky domain as the first domain information based on the area information of the registered user. and a second sky domain (area level) as second domain information.

Although airspace is registered in association with a sky domain, in this embodiment, a map of the property for which registration has been applied is displayed on the screen of the user terminal 3. The registered user marks (plots) three or more arbitrary points to surround the property on the displayed screen. The information processing server 2 forms a land area based on the information of the plotted points, creates polygons, and converts the land area into a three-dimensional object up to a predetermined height (300 m in this example) toward the sky. The information processing server 2 defines this three-dimensional area as an airspace and associates a sky domain with this airspace.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, any subdomain can be set within the airspace of the sky domain. For example, you can create a three-dimensional "tube" that details the space and usable range up to a specified height. Regions between subdomains may overlap each other or may not overlap each other. As long as they are not exactly the same space (three-dimensional polygon group), they may overlap. However, depending on the purpose, simultaneous use may not be possible.

A tube is, for example, a space surrounded by a line segment that linearly connects the entrance plane (four points of Entrance sky address) and the exit plane (four points of Exit sky address) to the airspace; The four Entrance Sky addresses and the four Exit sky addresses are stored in the subdomain DB2d as area information, which will be described later. Although the present embodiment does not define the shape of the airspace as a curved surface or a sphere, it may be defined as necessary.

The subdomain DB 2d stores sky domain IDs and area information in association with subdomain IDs. The area information is information for specifying the airspace using the above-mentioned tube, and specifically, information on the entrance plane (4 points of Entrance sky address) and the exit plane (4 points of Exit sky address) to the airspace ( latitude, longitude, and altitude).

Here, the information on the aircraft includes, for example, identification information (aircraft ID), aircraft size, number of rotors, aircraft weight (dry weight), payload, attributes, etc. , the type of the transported object (for example, whether it is a specified hazardous material or not), and other information.

(Evaluation DB4)
The evaluation DB 4 stores information (hereinafter also referred to as evaluation information) for evaluating at least one of the value and risk of an airspace that is associated with the state of the airspace. FIG. 4 is an example of evaluation information stored in the evaluation DB 4. As shown in Figure 4, the evaluation information is a data table (hereinafter also referred to as an evaluation table) that associates value and risk with each item of airspace condition, and specifically includes (1) usage type, ( 2) Geographical type, (3) Environmental status, (4) Weather status, (5) Usage status, (6) Radio wave status, (7) Airport information, (8) Flight rules, (9) Statistical information, (10) Major items and minor items are provided for each of the other items, and value and risk scores (hereinafter also referred to as value points and risk points, respectively) are associated with each other. Airspace evaluation is performed by obtaining scores for small items corresponding to the actual state of the airspace for each large item. For example, when the usage type (major item) is aerial photography (minor item), 5 points and 4 points are obtained as the corresponding value points and risk points, respectively. Note that in this embodiment, value points and risk points are associated so that the higher the score, the higher the value and risk, but the value points and risk points are associated so that the lower the score, the higher the value and risk. You may also associate points.

Note that the scores of the evaluation table may be correlated so that the value points are low for public use and high for private use. Furthermore, the scores in the evaluation table may be correlated so that the more applications for use, the higher the value, and the fewer the number of applications, the lower the value. Note that the scores in the evaluation table may be correlated so that when the number of usage applications falls within a predetermined range (for example, 100 cubic meters) or exceeds a predetermined number, the risk score increases.

In this embodiment, the value and risk of airspace are evaluated by preparing an evaluation table that is information for evaluating at least one of the value and risk of airspace that is associated with the state of the airspace. However, it is only necessary that at least one of the value and risk of the airspace can be evaluated according to the state of the airspace, and the value and risk of the airspace may be evaluated using other methods. For example, a data table may be prepared in which coefficients are associated with each item of airspace status, and a predetermined constant may be multiplied by the coefficient.

The information processing server 2, which will be described later, refers to the evaluation table stored in the evaluation DB 4 and calculates the value of the small item corresponding to each major item of the airspace condition according to the airspace condition registered in the airspace DB 2. After obtaining points and risk points, the airspace is evaluated by adding the obtained value points and risk points. Note that the added value points and risk points may be standardized (for example, on a scale of 100 points). In addition, as mentioned above, a data table is prepared in which coefficients are associated with each small item, and after obtaining the value and risk coefficients of the small items corresponding to each large item of airspace condition, the obtained coefficients are set as a predetermined value. It may also be in the form of multiplying the value of .

Note that some or all of the various information stored in the storage device 200B (for example, information stored in the user DB1, airspace DB2, usage application DB3, and evaluation DB4) may be stored in a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory or external It may be stored in an external storage device such as an HDD or a storage device of another information processing device connected via the network 5.

The registration unit 204 registers information on registered users and usage users in the user DB 1 in accordance with information transmitted from the user terminals 3 and 4. Further, the registration unit 204 registers the state of the airspace in the airspace DB 2 according to information transmitted from the user terminal 3. Further, the registration unit 204 registers usage application information in the usage application DB 3 according to information transmitted from the user terminal 4.

The issuing unit 205 issues Sky Domain. Specifically, the issuing unit 205 issues a sky domain based on a domain issuing request from the user terminal 3. More specifically, when at least area information, third and fourth domain information, etc. are transmitted from the user terminal 3, the issuing unit 205 sets the first domain information to a predetermined character string, and sets the second domain information to a predetermined character string. The character string corresponding to the area information is used, the third and fourth domain information are character strings transmitted from the information terminal, and a sky domain is issued.

The acquisition unit 206 acquires, for example, the following information.
(1) Status of registered airspace (2) Meteorological status of airspace (3) Location information of aircraft using airspace (4) Location information of source and destination of aircraft using airspace (5) Flight Body Information Note that the acquisition unit 206 (3) acquires the position information of the flying body periodically (every predetermined period from several seconds to several tens of seconds). The acquired position information of the aircraft is stored in the user DB 1 as usage history information in association with the user ID of the user. Further, the acquisition unit 206 acquires weather information from a web site where weather information can be viewed, for example. In addition, the position information of the aircraft can be obtained by inserting an IC card or the like in which the aircraft's unique number (aircraft ID) is stored into the aircraft, and using the aircraft ID and position information (for example, GPS). By transmitting the following information to the aircraft, it is possible to identify the aircraft and obtain position information. Note that the acquisition unit 206 periodically acquires the weather conditions and the position information of the aircraft, but within a practical range, the acquisition unit 206 acquires the weather conditions and the position information of the aircraft at a regular period (a predetermined period). ) is optional.

The evaluation unit 207 refers to the evaluation table stored in the evaluation DB 4 and evaluates the value and risk of the airspace according to the state of the airspace acquired by the acquisition unit 206. More specifically, the evaluation unit 207 refers to the evaluation table stored in the evaluation DB 4 and, depending on the airspace status acquired by the acquisition unit 206, selects a small item corresponding to each major item of the airspace status. After obtaining the value points and risk points for the item, the airspace is evaluated by adding the obtained value points and risk points to calculate the value points and risk points.

The location information includes information such as latitude, longitude, altitude, time (time at which the location information was acquired), and aircraft ID. In this embodiment, the user ID of the user is specified using the aircraft ID with reference to the user DB 1, and the specified user is charged a usage fee. Note that when charging the usage fee, a donation to a fund such as an environmental conservation organization (regardless of whether it is a non-profit organization or a for-profit organization) may be added to the usage fee.

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a usage history in which the positions P1 to P7 of the aircraft periodically acquired by the acquisition unit 206 are plotted. The example shown in FIG. 6 is an example of a usage history in which the position of the aircraft is plotted when the aircraft takes off from airspace A, passes through airspace B, and moves to another location. Normally, after ascending, the flying object gradually increases its speed and moves to a constant speed flight, so the plot of the flying object's position also has narrow intervals from P1 to P4 in airspace A after the start of flight. However, since the aircraft then shifts to constant speed flight, the position of the aircraft is plotted at predetermined intervals at P6 in airspace A and from P6 to P7 in airspace B. Also, since airspace C is not used, it is not plotted within airspace C. Here, in this embodiment, the number of plots in the airspace is used as the periodic position information of the flying object acquired by the acquisition unit 206. That is, in this embodiment, benefits are given according to the time spent using the airspace and the value and risk of the airspace. Note that Figure 6 is a history (plot) of position information when moving from point A to point B for reasons such as transporting cargo, and for other types of use such as spraying pesticides, The history of location information will be different.

As mentioned above, by using the regular positions (plots) of the aircraft acquired by the acquisition unit 206, there is no need to calculate the actual airspace usage time, and it is simple to simply count the number of plots in the airspace. Benefits can be given for the time spent using the airspace. Furthermore, usage fees can be similarly charged to users of the airspace by simply counting the number of plots within the airspace.

Note that the privilege granted to the airspace may be convertible into money later. By creating a configuration that leaves a history (plot) of the position information of aircraft in the airspace, even if an airspace without a registered airspace is used, the land owner or naming rights holder of the land where the airspace was established will be able to Once it is determined, the benefits granted based on the number of plots in the airspace can be converted into cash and returned to the identified land owners and naming rights holders. Note that the benefits may be managed on a blockchain to prevent tampering and improve reliability.

The search unit 209 searches according to the location information of the source and destination of the aircraft using the airspace received by the reception unit 201 and the state of the airspace and at least one of the value and risk of the airspace evaluated by the evaluation unit 207. Search for airspace recommended for use.

The payment unit 210 executes payment of usage fees. Specifically, when a user applies for the use of airspace, a predetermined usage fee is collected from the user via electronic payment, and a portion of the amount after deducting the brokerage fee is paid to the registered user of the airspace being used. will be paid by electronic payment.

In the embodiment described above, the value and risk of the airspace are evaluated based on the state of the airspace, but the aircraft using the airspace may also be evaluated. In this case, a flight vehicle evaluation DB is prepared in the same way as the airspace evaluation DB4. FIG. 14 is an example of evaluation information stored in the evaluation DB of the aircraft.

The flight vehicle evaluation DB stores information for evaluating the value and risk of the flight vehicle (hereinafter also referred to as evaluation information). As shown in Fig. 14, the evaluation information of the flying object is a data table in which value and risk points (hereinafter also referred to as value points and risk points, respectively) are associated with each item of information about the flying object, and is more specific. Specifically, the size of the aircraft, number of rotors, weight (dry weight), payload, etc.), attributes, and type of cargo being transported (e.g., whether it is a specified hazardous material or not). Large items and small items are provided for each item, and value points and risk points are associated with each other. The evaluation of the flying object is performed by obtaining the scores of the small items corresponding to the information of the flying object for each major item. For example, if the size of the aircraft (major item) is large (minor item), 5 points and 4 points are obtained as the corresponding value points and risk points, respectively. In the first modification of the present embodiment, value points and risk points are associated so that the higher the score, the higher the value and risk, but the lower the score, the higher the value and risk. Value points and risk points may be associated with each other.

The evaluation unit 207 of the information processing server 2 according to Modification 1 of this embodiment evaluates at least one of the value and risk of the aircraft itself based on the value points and risk points of the aircraft. More specifically, the acquisition unit 206 (fourth acquisition unit) acquires information on the aircraft that uses the airspace from the usage application DB 3, and the evaluation unit 207 refers to the evaluation table of the aircraft, and the acquisition unit 206 For each major item of information on the aircraft using the airspace acquired in , the value points and risk points of the corresponding small item are obtained from the aircraft evaluation table.

In this case, the acquisition unit 206 acquires the status of each airspace constituting the route from the airspace DB 2. Then, the evaluation unit 207 refers to the evaluation table stored in the evaluation DB 4, obtains value points and risk points for each corresponding small item from the evaluation table for each major item of the state of each airspace, and obtains the value points and risk points for each corresponding small item from the evaluation table. The values obtained by adding the acquired value points and risk points are set as the value points and risk points of the route, respectively.

Next, the acquisition unit 206 (fourth acquisition unit) acquires information on the aircraft that uses the airspace from the usage application DB3. The evaluation unit 207 refers to the evaluation table of the aircraft, and calculates the value points of the information of the corresponding small items from the evaluation table of the aircraft for each major item of information on the aircraft that uses the airspace acquired by the acquisition unit 206. and risk points are obtained, and the values obtained by adding the obtained value points and risk points are the value points and risk points of the aircraft, respectively.

Then, the evaluation unit 207 adds a value obtained by adding the evaluations (value points and risk points) of the route and the aircraft that are calculated as described above to the evaluation (value points and risk points) of the aircraft that uses the route. However, in addition to simply adding up the value points and risk points of the airspace that makes up the route and the aircraft using the airspace to obtain the value and risk points of the aircraft using the route, One of the value points and risk points of the aircraft may be used as a coefficient, and the result obtained by multiplying the value points and risk points of the other may be used as the value point and risk point of the aircraft that uses an arbitrary route. At least one of the value and risk of an aircraft that uses an arbitrary route evaluated in this way is determined by the evaluation of the aircraft that uses the airspace of an arbitrary route, etc. can be used.

The acquisition unit 206 (fourth acquisition unit) of the information processing server 2 acquires information on aircraft that use the airspace. Then, the evaluation unit 207 of the information processing server 2 refers to the flight vehicle evaluation table, which is information for evaluating at least one of the value and risk of the flight vehicle associated with the flight vehicle, and the acquisition unit 206 At least one of the value and risk of the aircraft is evaluated according to the information on the aircraft using the airspace obtained in the above. Therefore, it can be used to calculate usage fees and insurance premiums for aircraft, and the use of airspace can be promoted.

Further, the information on the flying object includes at least one of the weight, power, conveyed object, and usage time period of the flying object. Then, the evaluation unit 207 of the information processing server 2 evaluates at least one of the value and risk of the aircraft according to at least one of the weight, output, cargo, and time of use of the aircraft. Therefore, it is possible to more accurately evaluate at least one of the value and risk of the flying object, depending on the weight, output, cargo, and time of use of the flying object.

However, it is not always necessary for one acquisition unit to acquire the information (1) to (5), and a configuration may be adopted in which acquisition units each having a separate function acquire the information. For example, the first acquisition unit acquires the information (1) and (2), the second acquisition unit acquires the information (3), the third acquisition unit acquires the information (4), and the information (5) is acquired by the second acquisition unit. ) may be configured such that the fourth acquisition unit acquires the information. Further, the acquisition unit 206 (first to fourth acquisition units) does not necessarily need to be provided in the information processing server 2, and may be configured to be acquired by another apparatus (device) and transmitted to the information processing server 2. Further, in this case, the first acquisition section to the fourth acquisition section may be provided in different apparatuses.

[Modification 2 of embodiment]
Note that the condition of the airspace may change over time. For this reason, it is preferable to acquire the airspace status regularly or irregularly and update it if there is a change. At this time, there is a difference in the comparison results between the acquisition unit that acquires the airspace status, the comparison unit that compares the airspace status acquired by the acquisition unit, and the airspace status stored in the airspace DB2. If there is a change, the information processing server 2 may be provided with an update unit that updates the airspace state with the difference to the airspace state acquired by the acquisition unit. Alternatively, the airspace status may be updated by an administrator or the like of the information processing system 1 or by a user. In this case, the acquisition unit that acquires the airspace status input by the administrator or user of the information processing system 1 compares the airspace status acquired by the acquisition unit with the airspace status stored in the airspace DB 2. The information processing server 2 is provided with a comparison unit that updates the state of the airspace where there is a difference to the state of the airspace acquired by the acquisition unit if there is a difference (change) in the comparison result of the comparison unit. Just be prepared.

[Variation 3 of embodiment]
In the above embodiment, the evaluation unit 207 also uses evaluation information (of the airspace state) for evaluating at least one of the value and risk of the airspace, which is stored in the evaluation DB 4 and is associated with the airspace state. The value and risk of airspace are evaluated based on an evaluation table that associates value points and risk points for each item. It may be calculated. Further, when preparing a data table in which coefficients are associated with each item of airspace status, the coefficients may be calculated by an algorithm using a statistical method. Note that an algorithm using this statistical method is also included in the information for evaluating at least one of the value and risk of airspace that is associated with the state of the airspace.

In the first modification of the above embodiment, the evaluation unit 207 stores information for evaluating the value and risk of the aircraft (value points for each item of information on the aircraft) stored in the evaluation DB of the aircraft. The value and risk of an aircraft are evaluated based on an evaluation table that correlates the value and risk points, but the value and risk points are not fixed values, but are calculated using an algorithm using statistical methods. You can do it like this. Further, when preparing a data table in which coefficients are associated with each item of the aircraft, the coefficients may be calculated by an algorithm using a statistical method. Note that an algorithm using this statistical method is also included in the information for evaluating at least one of the value and risk of airspace associated with each aircraft.

[Variation 4 of embodiment]
Furthermore, when evaluating an airspace, the evaluation unit 207 may be configured to evaluate the value of the airspace in conjunction with the value points of surrounding airspace. For example, when the state of the adjacent airspace changes (for example, the population increases), the evaluation unit 207 increases the value points of the airspace being evaluated in conjunction with the value points of the adjacent airspace. You may also do so. In this case, the evaluation unit 207 uses a coefficient (the closer the distance is, the larger the coefficient is; The coefficient becomes smaller.However, the value point of the airspace to be evaluated may be multiplied by a coefficient>1).

Further, when evaluating an airspace, the value may be evaluated in conjunction with the air transportation fee of the aircraft using the airspace. In this case, the evaluation unit 207 uses a coefficient (the higher the air transportation fee, the larger the coefficient, The lower the coefficient, the smaller the coefficient) may be multiplied by the value point of the airspace to be evaluated.

According to the information processing device, the information processing method, and the information processing program, the value of airspace can be evaluated and the use of airspace can be promoted. It can also be used to evaluate airspace risks and calculate insurance for aircraft.
